C

Step-by-step solution

3 steps
  1. Find the additive inverse of −2-2.

    The additive inverse of a number xx is a number −x-x such that x+(−x)=0x + (-x) = 0.
    For −2-2, the additive inverse is −(−2)=2-(-2) = 2.

  2. Find the multiplicative inverse of −2-2.

    The multiplicative inverse (or reciprocal) of a number xx is a number 1x\frac{1}{x} such that x×1x=1x \times \frac{1}{x} = 1.
    For −2-2, the multiplicative inverse is 1−2=−12\frac{1}{-2} = -\frac{1}{2}.

  3. Combine the results.

    The additive inverse of −2-2 is 2, and the multiplicative inverse of −2-2 is −12-\frac{1}{2}.
    Comparing this with the given options, option C matches our findings.

    The additive inverse is 2 and the multiplicative inverse is −12-\frac{1}{2}.
    The correct option is C.
